Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control. -Cyril Connolly, critic and editor (10 Sep 1903-1974)
Hi all. This is a reminder about the gathering for Gerd this coming Thursday. There has been one notable change since last week. The campfire ban has been lifted if I am not mistaken. Even so, I am thinking cautiously and am suggesting an alternative. We have the use of a portable propane firepit. I will bring it along . So, please break out the sausages and such! And, if you have some kind of a roasting stick or fork, we could use a few of them. Again, here is the lowdown:
Thursday, September 13th: This day will be our farewell to Gerd and Meggie Bambey. Here is the information from them, altered a bit by me:
As most of you know by now, Gerd (momentarily rather a slow fart) and his fearless faithful companion Meggie are leaving the True North and are going back to their roots in Germany. Before that happens, let’s get together once more for a picnic/hike. Where: Crump recreation site (on the old Summerland-Princeton Road) When: Thursday, September 13th, 0900 at Summerland IGA (0840 at Home Hardware in Penticton) for carpooling or 0930 at Crump. -We will provide some food and beverages. -Feel free to bring any edible or drinkable goodies to share. -Bring your own meat and buns! -Camping chairs might be a good idea, too. Refreshed and strengthened we can start any slow/intermediate/athletic hike from there and return for more food and beverages and … songs??? -There is no need to inform anyone that you are coming! -And please feel free to bring spouse/friend/other too! Hope to see you there, Gerd and Meggie
Looking ahead a bit, I will be away for Thursday, September 27th and October 4th and 11th. If anyone wishes to organize and lead one of those dates, please let me know. It will be muchly appreciated! Cheers, JimHello Fartograms,
Back in town. Time for some fun. Although some rain is in the forecast, Fartograms never hesitate to go out! It will clear up as the day progresses to yes, OKANAGAN SUNSHINE! At this moment, according to YR it should be dry as off 7:00AM, by 9:30AM it should be 15deg. Tomorrow we will finally be doing our "back-up plan" of several weeks ago, biking a loop over the Tucelnuit Drive and Black Sage Road and back along the channel. We can make this as long or short as we wish. Very nice and not too demanding, i.e. doable for the average OF (slow and fast alike).
Let's start a little later and come together at the Home Hardware at 9:30AM in Penticton and 9:10AM at the IGA in Summerland. For those who are already in Oliver, please come to the parking lot just passed the Jackson-Triggs Winery. HOWEVER, please let me know, so that we do not wait for you in Penticton. In line with the latest Fartogram Fashion trend, e-bikes are allowed, if desired! See you tomorrow, cheers, Aarturo ... the mountain bard Welcome home! Doug and I will meet you at Jackson Triggs parking lot tomorrow morning! 9:45ish? Hanneke
